Directions
Whisk all marinade ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Add shrimp to bowl, toss gently with tongs or your (clean) hands, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat your grill (a grill pan also works) to medium-high.
Remove shrimp from refrigerator, shake off excess marinade and thread onto metal skewers or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for 10 minutes. Grill shrimp for 5-6 minutes, flipping once with tongs in the middle of cooking. Once shrimp have turned pink and lost all translucency, remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
To assemble tacos, place a few shrimp on a tortilla shell. Add pineapple, onion, tomatoes and avocado. Drizzle with sour cream and serve immediately.
